Create My Itinerary

Welcome to Create My Itinerary

On the Karen Brown website you are able to create and build a personalized itinerary by selecting Places to Stay, Cities, Attractions and Restaurants (POIs – Points of Interest). You can even incorporate your own destinations or waypoints.

These POIs then become sequenced destinations for your itinerary and the route will appear on the map as well as in a list that you can access through “Edit My Itinerary.”

Before you begin it is necessary to set up an account (LOG IN) so that our website has a place to save your trip (s) for your personal access. Your MY Itinerary will be automatically saved as you build it.

You are able to create a trip of up to thirty-five segments with each visit. To plan a trip of more than thirty-five segments it is necessary to create multiple trip files.

It will be necessary to LOG IN each time you want to create, access or manage your MY ITINERARIES.

How to Create My Itinerary:

It is now necessary to get to a point in our website where you can begin to select POIs for your itinerary. So from your DESTINATION navigate to a REGION, PLACE TO STAY, CITY, ATTRACTION or RESTAURANT page.

Once on a REGION, PLACE TO STAY, CITY, ATTRACTION or RESTAURANT page, click on “Create a New Itinerary” located underneath the map in the “Itineraries” tab.

Select your first Place to Stay, City, Attraction or Restaurant and then click on “Add to My Itinerary.” Continue to add Places to Stay, Cities, Attractions, Restaurants or personal waypoints to your itinerary in this manner.

As you add POIs they will save to your created itinerary and your route will appear on the map.

You will need to login in order for you to save your itinerary and for us to recognize which itineraries belong to you.

20. How can I show my itinerary route on the map?
Click on the box to the right of the colored rectangular box to turn the route “on” on the map. You can actually turn on more than one itinerary at a time – whether or not you see all routes will depend on their proximity to one another. You can also overlay Karen Brown Itineraries as a guideline as you build your own itinerary.

21. How come the route is not loading for my itinerary?
There can be a few reasons why your route is not loading on the map.
If your waypoints are placed in locations that have no road access, then it will not be routed.
If your itinerary has many waypoints, it may take some time to calculate the route.
Make sure your map frames the area of your itinerary. If the map is focused on France for example, and your itinerary is routed through Germany it will only show when the map frames an area in proximity to your route.

22. Why do icons for POIs appear and disappear from the website maps?
POIs will only load at a certain map zoom. An alert will pop up when you need to change zoom. Since POIs also impact the speed of loading the maps, you have the option to click the icons for the POIs on or off.
If you are in the correct zoom and they are not loading, check to make sure you have the box for SHOW POINTS OF INTEREST checked on.
